BeforeCopper beech before a 15 percent crown thin
AfterCopper beech after a 15 percent crown thin

The council did not approve a reduction but accepted a crown thin to bring more light to the house and garden. The £950 price reflected the time needed for the application, the size of the tree, the amount of climbing involved, the care needed to thin it properly and the long drag required to remove the debris.
